ITEM: ITEM DESCRIPTION: PREPAR-ED BY'
Sewer -and Water Extension to Doughboy Property and
✓ N O•B- a' Parkside Trailer Court J. Andre
This is a hearing on the following project:
".Sanitary sewer trunk line: and watermain along the -East side _.
of.T.H. #'52 from Eastwood Drive S: E. to 24th Avenue S. Eo."
This sewer and water extension will be .for -the purpose of serving
the Doughboy and Parkside Trailer -Court properties which .are now being
-considered for annexation. by the Minnesota Municipal Commission.
.-Beforemaking a ruling on the proposed annexation, the MMC.asked-for.
-and 'received a feasibility report on providing the necessary services
to this. area . ..
- Although a ruling has not yet been made on this annexation, -the
City Engineer feels that this.hearing.is necessary in -order for his,
aepartm"ent to proceed with the plans so that these services can be
provided to the subject property within a reasonable -period -of time
after annexation, if so approved. This is because -of the Highway,
permits and R.O.W. acquisitions.necessary, as well as..involved arrange-
ments to be made.between the City Water -Department and the People's Coop.
..Power about the existing water system.
The total estimated cost of thes-mitary sewer is $95,842.00, of which
$47,900.00 will.be currently assessed to land now within the city
limits plus the proposed annexation parcels, and $47,942.00 which.will
be deferred.
The total estimated cost of the watermain is $27,394:00., of which
$13',760.00 will be currently assessed to land now -within the city
limits plus the proposed annexation -parcels, and $13,634.00 which willbe
deferred.
Council Action Requested:
If the Council decides to proceed with the project, .it should -.close
the hearing and instruct the City Engineer to.proceed-with the necessary.'
plans.

,The .primary purpose... of- this pr`oje-ct is to extend the- City of
poches.ter' s sanitary sewer and waternain system to ,the area in
.; Section 7-T106N--?13W Marion... ownship ' which is proposed for
annexation, on which-a'.iearing was held by -.the' Municipal-Commiissi_on
of the State of I-iinnesota .on May 13, 1970. The.'area proposed- for
annexation is designated,as Parcels A,H,C,D.,, and E in the'..Notice of
Hearing. At this 'time there. is no City sanitary sewe r Tai•thin- this
area.' .
The. sewer and..,f�atermain construction as, proposed in this., project '
and -described- above will provide direct -service to the frontage abutting - '-
theeast side of Trunk Highway 152, and permit extension of service
laterals into the interior of the -parcels The costs of these- future
service laterals -are not included in ",this report..' . It, is estimated;that•'
they', be installed at.normal expense..ahen required.

of Trunk Highway •Yr and continuing, southerly along. the. east side of .T'iI
52 to 2`4th Avenue S,.E: which is
at' the 'southeas.t corner of Parcel-C of the
proposed annexation.
-This proposed- 10" sewer 'main will have 'sufficient- capacity to serve
the natural drainage area -lying east.of Trunk 'High:ay `52 comprising 300"

lThere is a -central water system owned and operated 'by. thi&' Peoples.
.Cooperative Power Association which presently provides water service to
Parcel C,D;E, part 'of Parcel A,. DeWitts. Addition, Rose.'Harbor_Addition,
_ and .Marvale. Addition. •This. water supply -.and reservoir.-(50,000 gallon
elevated., tank) is not sufficient to provide adequate water supply for
ead proposed- further developments in Parcels A. -and B. -
The .most practical method of..providing adequate water' service to
these f' parcels is to cons truict_ an S" wateripain:' connection from the
terminal of `the existing -City iaateru!ain on the -TTest side of Trunk

At that point the new (9"'main .`can be connected T"TitEi the existing b"

City {17buld then acquire --the -Peoples Cooperative Power "ssociation .(Rose

supply ,for both the existing and proposed developments in the area lying
;east !of- TH 5.2' and :Nest of the east boundaries 'of nose-,Lxarbor and. 'Iarvale.:
Distribution'lat.erals could' -later be..extended-into the interior as required:
±The estimated cost of this proposed 3" watermain connection -'is $27,394.
!The' feasibility -`of this proposal is dependent upon -tlle City aequirino.'- i
and taking over the operation, of the ---Peoples Cooperative Power Associations
"Rose ?!arbor" water system: This' :acquisition. has been considered favorably
by, t ee' City Water- Department- and the Peoples Cooperative Po-wer Association,,
but .rig conclusion has been reached . in respect.to the costs and; other
arrangements.
�1 owever, i£.- the City; is.- going to annex any or all of the proposed
Parcels .(A-3--.C=n-E) .we must: accept_the fact that. annexation of peWitt's
Addition, nose 1iarluor, and Har .ale will also -follow, -and that the City will
"certainly acquire the Peoples Cooperative Grater, sys ten eventually. --It will``.
be* better. to-do so now than later..
'The' alternative to 'combining the two water systems, is-- for the City' to
etend.,the proposed.g inch �7.atermain construction beyond 14th Street, past
PeWitts Addition into- Parcel B and part of A; -and operate a_ water system
inde?endently of the existing Peoples;Cooperatize system. 'The' -estimated
cost ;of this additional extension is 441;400 , in addition �to' the proposed
$27,394 from the. present City main- to 14th Street.
This alternative'is. not -recommended,. however; because -of its dup,Iica.t on
of water mains .thru the area, and because -it. Vould tend to delay -and further
complicate the necessary corhbination of the two water systems. ..

Districting On Oil City Property From The R-1 District to The'M-2
District
rJuly, 23,. 1970 :.
Cite Planning and Zoning Commission:
On July 22, 1970 the -City Planning.and_Zoning,Commission-considered the above
described change of zoning districting.- We find that this area is designated as being'best suited .for.indus.trial-use on the city's adopted'Land Use Plan.'
We also find that there exists an M-1 District on the west side of 3rd Avenue
S.E. with residential uses interspe'rsed,. The property to the east is vacant
-except .for a water tower but it -is planned for. future residential"development.
Based on these -findings we recommend- that the zoning of this. -area be_ changed to the 14-1 District instead of.the M-2 District.•- This change will make the. _
bulk oil uses and the scrap -metal yard non -conforming -uses, but they would
be able to.ldontinue the -present use indefinitely.
We further recommend that dikes be constructed.around the petroleum storage
tanks for fire protection purposes.
Council Action Needed:
1. Tiie- City Clerk -.should publi-sh--a -legal notice of hearing in the Post-Bulltin
no later than July-29, 1970. Written notice must be `sent to the. property
owners involved.
2. Following the hearing, if the Council decides to proceed with the zone
change, the City Attorney should be instructed -to prepare an ordinance
that can be adopted.

PLANNING COMMISSION INITIATED CFLMG_E_OF ZONING DISTRICTING ON OIL CITY PROPERTY
FROG -THER-1 DISTRICT TO THE 'M-2- DISTRICT
1. City Departmental Review: No objections ieceived..
2. City Planning Department:
Existine-Land Use:'
.. The.area proposed to be rezoned is commonly referred to as Oil City. This is
used for commercial and industrial purposes as follows:
(a) Bulk oil and petroleum products storage areas (Coop, Skelly, and
Phillips)
(b) Junk yard
(c) Warehouses
} (d) Plumbing contractor
(e). Propane.gas storage and sale
Existing Zoning:
All'.of these -properties are currently zoned as an-R-1 District because
lands that are newly annexed to the City are.automatically placed in
that district under provisions of Paragraph 14.06 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Land Use Plan:
Thz-City's adopted Land Use Plan designates this area as being best suited
for industrial development. The area,has good transportation service since.
it is bordered or. the west by a major city street and on the east by a
railroad.
Proposed Zoning:
The property to the north (Golden Hill Industrial Addition).is zoned an M-1-
District. The property.to the -west that-lie's along the west side of 3rd
Avenue S.E. is zoned an M-1 District. The property to the east -'is planned
to be developed for residential uses in the future.
Discussion:
The 11-2 District would permit the bulk.petroleum storage uses and the junk
-yards..- Since these uses already exist, they would be permitted -uses --in the
M-2 District.
This Planning Department feels that since this area is sandwiched in between
an existing M-1 District to the west.that is also intermingled with some,
residential development -and a planned residential development -to the.east-that _
a less intense -industrial development-would_be-more--desir-.abie-and suitable in
this area.- The storage of--bulk-pet-roleum-products can be a.dangerous use. .
Over the -.years- there have already- been -severe. fires in- this area.. when _these --tanks.__
have ignited creating a threat to the -`whole. neighborhood. ....Ro.ches.te'r--is expanding_.
in. this direction and maybe the time-is,fast approaching when anew look should
be taken at the0il City area and -a new and better location found.
Conclusion:
Based on the above- f-indings;-.-the P.lanninu -Department fee -Is -that this -area- -should- be
rezoned to the M-1.District rather _than the M-2 District.

SUBJECT: ANALYSIS OF V. PETITION OF PROTEST AGAINST THE PROPbSAL TO C1,NGE THE ZONING
DISTRICTING ON, Oil City From The R-1 District To Thy M-_7 nicrr;�r
FINDINGS: On July 22, 1970 (Date) a petition of protest against the
above described cha_1ge of zonin districting"was filed in.the City Clerk's Office of the
City of Roches°er; Minnesota: The public hearing before the Common COUncil(is to be)
herd on August 17, 1970 (Date).
I have reviewed this "petition of protest and checked the signatures on the petition
against the property owne~ship records, as listed in the City Clerk's Property Books.
The -areas of land :were calculated by. planimetering them from a map .drawn to a scale of
1:' 200' An'analysis of this petition of protest yields the following facts_:
1. -The owners of 0 properties located within the area to be re-
zoned have signed the petition of protest.
2." The owners of l properties located within 200 feet of the outer
Perimeter of the property proposed to be re -zoned -have signed the petition of
. protest. —
3. -zoned, exclusive of .streets and alleys, is
The total area of land to be re
1,084,208,4 square feet.
4: The total area of land within 200 feet of the outer "perimeter, of" the property
- to be re -zoned, exclusive of streets and alleys, is 91hi502"4 sq. ft.
5. The area of land within the area to be re -zoned for which the owners have
signed the petition of protest is 0 sq. ft.
6. The area of land within 200 ft. of the outer perimeter of the property to be
re -zoned for which the owners have signed the petition.oi protest is��
350,658 --sq. ft.
CALCULATIONS:
1. Percentage of property within the area -to be re -zoned forwhich the owners
have signed the petition of protest
0 S.F. x 100 = 0 90
0 S.F.
2. Percentage of property within 260 ft. of the property to be re -.zoned for which
the owners have signed the petition of protest:
350,658 S.F. x_ 100
916,502.4 S.F.
CONCLUSIONS: The above calculations indicate that (more :) thau-20%.of either the.
-owners of property, -exclusive of streets acid alleys, :,A- ��Rgyoo R
t -X a-,j r:0ao<,-within 200 'feet of the outer perimeter of the property proposed to be
re-zoned.)have signed.the petition of protes-t and the petition of protest was filed
(before)fi x) the public hearing. This being the case., the petition of protest is.
(valid)( according to the provisions of Paragraph 62.031 of -Ord. -No: 1296, and i.t
will require a oji/x yx) (6I7th's) vote of the Common Council to approve the proposed change
of" -zoning.

_'reveal -a- continuation of cavities beyond.the boundries._of, the proposed
•..survey (ie-toward the water ,to�zer'). then additional. -research: would .be justified.
and .recommended by `this 'Department to the,,Council:.` .
.3. The, methods to be. employed consist :of a combination. of -electrical resistivity

Re: investigation of Sinkholes in
_Rochester, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Koskovich:
This is the proposal which you requested at.the meeting we held in -your office on -
August 11. At that' time we discussed the report which we submitted to you on
July 28.
With regard to the proper method of exploration to,use at this project, a major
consideration is the size of the area to be..investigated. .'As'the size of the area.
.increases, the amount of information -needed to provide adequate coverage increases.
Thus, it becomes more -feasible to attempt rapid, though less .direct, methods of
detection such as the infra -red method. As the size of the area to be investi
gated diminishes, the use of more direct methods, -such as actual test borings,
becomes more feasible. We understand that presently you would like to investigate
only the playground area. This is roughly 150' x 250' in plan dimension. The
cost. of making sufficient borings to have a.high degree of assurance_ -that potential
sinkholes are detected would be on the order of $4000 to $8000 (The actual amount
would depend principally on the average depth to bedrock, With a depth of 40',-
the cost would be about $5000.) With a program of combining a.few test borings. -
with an electrical resistivity survey; the cost would be much less': I would ----- ,
recommend the following program.
1. Test Borings - Direct information -for correlation with electrical resistivity
survey would-be done by -means of additional test borings.. The borings would
be put down in -the southwest, northwest and southeast corners of the playground.
These borings, -along with previous boring.#-2-which is near the northeast
corner.of the playground, would be used for correlation with the -resistivity
soundings. The borings would be made using the auger method. The principle.
purpose of the borings would be to determine the soil profile and the depth
to the bedrock. -

IZATION FOR PUBLICATION OF STATEMENTS. CONCLUSIONS OR EXTRACTSFROMOR REGARDING OUR REPORTS IS RESERVED PENDING OUR WRITTEN APPROVAL
Mr. Jerome Koskovich
August 12, 1970

2. Electrical Resistivity Soundings = The objective of a resistivity survey would
be to delineate zones of abnormal conditions. Potential.sinkholes should, as
described previously, have an air -filled dome. I This would have an abnormally
high electrical resistance. On the other hand, the general solution cavity -
subsidence environment itself is quite often predominan�ly a mixture of loose
soil and water. This could have either a -higher or lower resistivity than
the surrounding soil. It is quite unlikely, however, that in general -it would
have the same resistivity. In either case, the sinkhole..environment should.
have a substantially different resistance from that of the surrounding normal
soil. -By taking a detailed series of soundings over the site, I am confident
that the potential sinkhole zones can be delineated. It isquite possible,..
in -fact, that exact location of.,potential sinkholes can be pinpointed.
An initial program of soundings would be done throughout the playground. The spacing
would .depend on the .depth to rock and -the soil conditions encountered in the test -
borings. Assuming - that rock is about 40'.deep, and.considering the dimensions of
the area to be investigated, a grid of 50_' on centers is suggested. This would
require 15-soundings, including the correlation soundings' at -the four borings:
The progress of this would be closely.monitored. Upon'eompletion, if the results
appeared sensible and meaningful, then -the program would be. expaided1 to cover the
area in more detail. Additional soundings would be done on'about 25' centers. In .
other words, a.total of 45 soundings. -Subtracting the previous 15 from this 45,
would leave 30 additional soundings to be made.
If the test borings substantiate .the_expected soil -profile and depth to rock,
namely wind blown loess over glacial till and alluvium, in turn overlying bedrock-.
at a. depth of about 40', then each resistivity sounding would'consist of four
readings at electrode spacings of 20, 40, 60 and 80 ft. The depth of penetration
is roughly equivalent to one-half the electrode spacing. Contour maps would then be
made for each set of electrode spacing. The maps would be compared and analyzed to
delineate the zones of potential sinkhole conditions and perhaps actually -pinpoint
potential sinkholes.
3. Additional Soil Borings - Depending on -the accuracy and reliability of the
electrical resistivity survey, and of the size, number and amount of potential
sinkhole zones encountered,.it may then.be advisable to put-down test borings
in suspect areas.
As for the cost, as I indicated in -my letter of June 4, our work is done on an hourly
and unit rate basis, as indicated on the fee schedule which'we sent you. For.
estimating purposes, however, the following guidelines -could be used.
1. Test borings --As indicated previously, the cost of auger borings should be
about $1.00 to $1.50 per foot. Assuming an average depth to rock of about
40', the cost of -three borings therefore, -.would-be in the range of $120 t0 $200
for the field work. We*will have a crew in Rochester early next week and
thus, travel co.st could be pro -rated if that crew is utilized. We have, of
course, crews in that area quite often and the work could be done at some
other time and save some money that way.
Mr. Jerome Koskovich

2, Electrical Resistivity Soundings — The previous estimated figure of about;85.00
..to $15.00 per sounding was based on -a' much greater number of soundings. With
the scope of the present job, it would appear that about_.$20.00 per Pounding"
is more realistic, This estimate includes all engineering,supervision and
report -preparation. For 45 soundings therefore, the cost would be about .
$900:00.-
3,- I expect that the electrical resistivity survey will be quite successfu_1 and,
few, if anyf additional borings would be required. :To be conservative, however,
it should be assumed that perhaps five borings would be 'required. On some of
these it may be wise to use standard penetration boring methods, similar to
thatused in previous borings Land 2, If so, the borings would need not
penetrate bedrock, and the cost would be normal soil drilling costs, in other -
words,. about $4.00 per foot. If additional borings are made,- therefore, the
cost for.this could run up to as high as aboLit $750.00.-
As we discussed,we are assuming that your personnel will help out in this work.
The above.cost estimates are based on the assumption that -..you will provide one
'helper for conducting the resistivity survey. The -helper would help tape out and
place the probes for the soundings. -In addition, you will stake out a grid system
at'the.site.' This will be used'for more rapid placing of the electrodes and -for.
close control on location of the soundings, The grid system should be on 25' centers.
Finally, I am assuming that the present topographic map of the area which has a
contour interval of 1' is accurate to within approximately.±,'. If it isn't, then
we would require a topographic map of that accuracy. 'The grid system, incidentally,
should be plotted on. the topographic map;

NO•-��, C. F. Massey Projection over Public.Property J. E. Izoskovich
FMr.-Allen Rich of the C. F. Massey Co. has submitted plans for a vestibule on their
building located at 20 2nd Street S.W-. in the City of Rochester, Minnesota.
This vestibule would front on 2nd Street S.W.. and the two doors .would partially.
extend over the public sidewalk when in an open posi.tion._
.0 4.C. Section 4507 of the City Building Code Ordinance No.,1455, reads as. follows.
Sec.'4507. Doors, either fully opened or when opening, shall not project`
mor&.than one foot-(l') beyond the -property -line, except that in alleys no
proj�'ection beyond-the.property line i-s permitted. -
Mr. Rich desires a projection of 16" as:opposed to the 12 permitted by -'the Code.
The existing sidewalk is 14'-10" wide.
Department recommendations:,
_.It -would appear that with a sufficiently wide sidewalk the 12" projection
permitted by the code is arbitrary. It would seem -practical to accept the
further projection into public right of way provided however that the door
panels be fitted with tempered glass in order to eliminate -the potential
of -seriously injuring -a pedestrian.
If the Council agrees with this recommendation they should also consider specifying
a minimum sidewalk.width.-to which, such a variance may be granted in order to eliminate,
the indiscriminate request for such-variance-s.
The Council should also consider liabilities that may be -incurred as -a result of
injuries.

City Planning Department: -
We have reviewed the application_ -of the Olmsted,County Park Department to use
a portion of the Olmsted County Fairgrounds property for.a temporary travel
trailer -parking area. We find that the area to be used is located on the
north portion of the fairgrounds. property. There is'no existing development
in .the ii.miediate. area that would be adversely 'effected by .this use.
Paragraph 61.0322 of the Zonr�ag Ordinance provides that the Common Council—
may authorize the temporary use of property subject to,such conditions as
may be, safeguard the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare.
There'are.'sanitary facilities in.this area and the duration of the permit
would be for September-'4, 5, 6,.and_7, 1970. This. is an organized group
making this request.
:Based -on these findings the Planning Department feels --that the application
should be approved: -
Council Action Needed:
1. A motion of the Council is needed to authorize this temporary use. The
City Clerk should inform the County Park Department of the Council'.s action
and if approved a Zoning Certificate should be obtained from the Planning_

Chairman
Public Safety Committee
City Hall -
Rochester, Minnesota 55901 _
Dear Mr., Chairman:
We feel.it is our.responsibility to bring to your attention certain
procedures that were taken to avoid.incidents such as recently occurred at
the Bank Saloon.
The Bank opened December 30, 1969 with one man on the floor from'8:30 PM
to 1:00 AM. His duties were to check ID's and be on the alert for potential.
problems and.have all customers out by 1:00 AM.
On February 15th we opened the Vault with both a full time bouncer and,
our manager on the floor from 8:30 PM to 1:00 AM. -
Effective March 15th we decided that we would employ a bouncer only on
our three busiest nights - Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. On these nights a
bouncer and our manager are on the floor and on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday
only our manager worked in this capacity.
July 23rd, the night of the fracas,.our manager took his first night off
in 6 months. As stated above, we had already decided we did not need a bouncer
on this night. Perhaps this was an error in judgment on•our part, -but perhaps
also, our problem would have been the same with other people involved.
Since this incident we are employing 2 full. time people to check ID's and
act in the capacity of a. bouncer 6 nights a week. Our manager also is- on the
floor 5 nights a week. Therefore, we now have 3 people on the floor 5 nights
a week, plus 4 bartenders.
We realize that holding a liquor license in Rochester .is a privilege and
that we have obligations both to our customers and to the City of Rochester in
operating this business.
We also feel -that we have made an honest effort to effectively operate
our business on a high level with respect to both city and state laws.
Sincerely,
• F, <✓1

To whom it may concern: c
This isto inform you that we will oppose any assessment
to the Silver Lake,Trailer Court based on the sidewalk thai °
was recently constructed at the front of the trailer Court,
TTb trill do so for the f of lo;-Ting reasons first, it was built
not. -through our initiative but rather at the persistence of
the Northbrook shopping center; second, not only does it not
add to the value of the trailer court, it decreases it's value
for it interferes with the right of access of -cars and trailers
to the middle access road of the grailer court,,'thirdi The tenents
of the trailer court were always able, quite conveniently to
cross the trailer court without 'the aid of,a sidewalk, therefore
the sidewalk is not for the benefit of the -inhabitants of the
trailer park, but rather is an inducement for individuals to
cross the trailer court with the aid of the sidewalk to go th
the shopping center,,. individuals who are not inhabitants of the
trailer court,' If,possible, will you please send us a note
informing the trailer court of the time thet the assesment
hearing is scheduled for. Thank you.

Gentlemen:
Enclosed -is our application for a variance'on one of oursigns
located on lst Avenue N. W."for the Depot House. On the -appli-
cation we have pointed out our reasons for this -request. -but we
additionally point out the following reasons.
1. In making this sign.for the Depot House,,they advised us to
make it on temporary material due to the fact that the Depot -
House is in the process of changing hands or"major changes in
ownership might require a name change.
2. In reviewing our present sign locations,"we are',at this time
submitting to the Planning and Zoning Commission.a'number.of
changes in the present sign ordinance whereby embellishments and
temporary signs of this.nature would be permissable. We expect
these variances to be approved in the very near future.
3. In asking for this variance, we are sure that it would be
practical and that such embellishments made of combustible
material would in no way endanger or be harmful to anyone in.
building signs of this nature in commercial -or industrial zones.
Yours very truly,
